polls showing president obama with a growing lead over mitt romney are deliberately being skewed by the liberal main stream media. >> like fox news which has swing state polls that are negative, too. >> which has fascinating coverage. so republicans will be disheartened and stay at home on election day. that's what you say. this is denial and self-delusion but not of the harmless kind. it's a false narrative that encourages the republican party to take the wrong lessons from this election no matter the outcome. and that, gene, is interesting because if the outcome does not go in mitt romney's favor the party does have to take a look at itself. >> well, i think it does. if you look at what's happened to the republican brand over the last four years, i mean, politicians in general have taken a beating. i think there's plenty of polling evidence out there that the american public would like to have done with both parties in a sense and you see the number of independents increasing as it has been for sometime. but the republican brand is just battered, really. i mean, republicans get blamed

according to "the washington post"/abc news poll, 49% say they would vote for obama and 47% for romney. those numbers are unmoved from early last month. >> so nationally we're in the margin of error in this poll. >> all right. in the critical swing states, the president's lead grows to 11 points among likely voters. 52% to 41%. in ohio, a state where early in-person voting begins tomorrow -- >> wow! >> -- a new "columbus dispatch" poll shows the president leading 51%-42%. in august that same poll had the two candidates tied at 45%. >> at 45%. if you want to know how badly things have gone over the past month for mitt romney, how bad september was for mitt romney, just look at the "the columbus dispatch" poll. he's lost nine points in ohio. it's absolutely critical that he does change the narrative, he does turn things around. you know, we always talk about -- i've always talked about 1980, the final weekend, it's tied between reagan and carter. this isn't 1980 anymore. he's got to kick start it now because let's say he wins the final two weeks. he still loses the election. you can't ju

new polls out from quinnipiac university show president obama with a narrow lead heading into wednesday's debate. president obama leading 49% among likely voters. but when it comes to women, president obama has stretched a lead to 18 points, 56% to 38%. the gap tightens when it comes to which candidate would better handle the economy, just one point separates them. when asked who would win tomorrow night's debate, the president nearly doubles mitt romney 54% to 28%. that doesn't mean anything. with us from denver, host of "the daily rundown," chuck todd standing in the dark in denver. chuck, break down the polls for us. >> well, you know, it's been interesting about him. we've got a new poll that comes out tonight. what i've thought interesting about the polls in the last few days, quinnipiac, cnn, they all show the same thing. the president's number, the bounce he got out of the convention, it has not deflated. he is staying in the 49%, 50%. >> granholm. >> the fluidity is in romney's number. romney is anywhere, instead of sitting in the single digits, instead of the low 40s, he's moved

one is, why is ohio not, in your estimation, a lean obama state at this juncture in all the polling news? and secondly, in what states with early voting do you think another candidate's going to actually have a real advantage and get out to a lead that might be insurmountable on election day? >> reporter: well, i'm not sure that -- i'm not sure we would talk about ohio. i mean, i sort of -- let's see if anything moves after the first debate. i think this is going to be an interesting question for the romney campaign in a week. if the ohio numbers don't move, there is a strong case to be made. joe, you and i walked through this path, that he's got a path to 270. al gore had to make this decision in 2000. do you pull out of ohio? do you take the beating that you'll take for a day or two going oh, my god, you've pulled out of ohio just like al gore did in 2000. guess what? al gore made the right call. he almost pulled it off. some think he did pull it off by taking all those ohio resources, pouring them into florida, pouring them into michigan, pouring them into pennsylvania. does a dollar
